I spend 70 to 80 percent of my day staring at glowing rectangles. And that’s probably an underestimate. So when I was told I shouldn’t take any of my city slicker devices to Design Ranch, a conference in Hunt, Texas, I raised an eyebrow. Leave my computer behind? No internet? Was this going to...
This past Friday (and part of the day Saturday) several members of KPS3 participated in Reno Wired. If you don't know already, Reno Wired is a 24-hour, nonprofit brandathon. If that doesn't really make sense either, it's really just a group of people working for 24 hours straight to redesign all of a nonprofit's print pieces and website. And it was amazing.

As the year winds to an end, I thought I'd share with you the top 10 KPS3 articles in 2012 (sorted by views). When you reach the end of this countdown, feel free to pop some champagne and kiss the person nearest to you (maybe clear that with HR first).

Radical new concepts or simply a mixture of old ideas? Can a simple argument or an incorrect answer spark more ideas then the fluffy, everyone contributes brainstorm session?

If you haven't noticed by now, we’ve overhauled our entire website. 2011 was a great year for us at KPS3 and what better way to end it than with a project to showcase all we accomplished during the year? We were also very excited to start 2012 fresh and clean. We wanted to take the process we use with clients on a...

Fashion designers, chefs, interior designers, artists and now even sci-fi costume creators all have their own reality shows on various cable networks. So what about graphic designers? Well, that reality show lives at the AIGA Pivot conference. It's called "Command X." It comes complete with a celebrity host, a theme song and a panel of...
At KPS3 at any given moment, we are probably developing strategic "tag lines" as part of a client's branding process. Tag lines may be simple phrases (ideally) but writing good ones can be uber difficult to do. Tag lines need to be strategic (reinforce the unique brand position of an organization or product), memorable, concise and relevant.

... and a mobile site... and an email platform... and an embeddable widget... and more.
We are happy to announce that the City of Sparks new website is now live and viewable to the world. This website received a full court press from the KPS3 team and followed our four step approach to web development:
Now I won't bore you with all of the details...
